ABSTRACT:
A optimized two-piece master track link for connecting together the ends of an articulated track is described. The two link parts forming the track link interface together along a generally flat diagonal surface defined by each of the two link parts. Each of the two diagonal flat surfaces has a mutually facing cavity. Each cavity has an interior side wall which faces away from the diagonal surfaces. A complementary dowel pin fits within the hollow space defined by the two cavities and resists separation of the two link parts along three mutually perpendicular directions. Shoe bolts extend from the outside of the track shoe to one of the link parts through the other link part so that both of the link parts are joined to the track shoe. One end of each of the two diagonal flat surfaces is immediately adjacent the track shoe. The opposite end is spaced at an intermediate position between the inner and outer surfaces of the track link.
